Exploring Perceptions of A Priori Barriers to Entrepreneurship: A Multidisciplinary Approach
整合经济学、心理学和社会学，调查澳大利亚新南威尔士州中西部人群中四类群体（潜在、打算、实际创业者及无创业意愿者）对创业先验障碍的认知，发现主要障碍多非经济性且难以通过政府政策解决，不同群体间障碍重要性差异显著。
This exploratory study integrates the disciplines of economics, psychology, and sociology to identify perceptions of a priori barriers in the entrepreneurial environment. The Central-West of N.S.W., Australia was surveyed to find the proportions of four groups in the general population—potential, intending, actual entrepreneurs, and no wish to start—and the barriers faced by each. A profile analysis across the three disciplines found that the more important barriers are largely non-economic and intractable to government policy. Barriers are different from other regions. Significant differences in importance between groups are identified and the pattern of group differences varies between barriers. Further, the issues of sequentiality and combinations of barriers are important, for there is no panacea to engendering venture creation.
